Joe Purdy (9/12/17)

Since seeing Joe Purdy back in 2011, I’ve ended up collecting all his albums and have really become a fan. Not that I know all his songs that well, but his style of songwriting and story-telling makes him a great performer, particularly live. He’s a little shy, but a self described angry hillbilly, who’s working on presenting more inclusion & love than youthful hate (his Mom’s advice). That being said, he’ll also admit that his shows are not the uplifting type, as he said that he was “hoping no one was here to be cheered up." But you wouldn’t know that by the amount of humor and audience engagement you’ll get at one of his shows.
